What I liked best about this show was not only did it have heart pounding, intense competition but the competitors really seemed to like each other and cheered each other on during the races.
I also liked the editing which kept the repetitive nature of serial competition on a static track design from becoming boring to watch. That was well done and helped keep the show at a high energy level.
I didn't like the "leveler," which, by design, needed a totally different skill-set from the other, "drifting" oriented obstacles, and always bogged down the intense pace of the races. It was a bad choice for this show.
